The study looked at Tinder users and their sense of self-worth, surveying 1,044 women and 273 men with an average age of around 20-21. Those who took part were asked about personal features, such as their thighs and faces.

Compared with those in the study who weren't using the app, Tinderers were more ashamed of their bodies, showed greater dissatisfaction with their faces and were more likely to obsess over the way they look.

Interestingly, the results didn't vary too much between genders - if anything, men were more likely to show a lack of self-worth than women.

One possible reason for this was explained by researcher Jessica Strubel to CNET, who said: "Based on Tinder statistics, it is possible men are more affected simply because there are more of them on the app than women, which allows women to be more discerning when deciding whether to swipe right."

As for the young age of respondents, a group generally more likely to stress over a bad hair day, Strubel acknowledged that more work needs to be done in order to correlate whether this is simply a Tinder-related issue or a millennial one.
